            Really like the first shot, it reminded me of the bird in "The Snowman" cartoon.

              First is a really different image - looks like it was snowing really hard. Down here I would have to resort to photoshop for snowy images

                Very well done on both images, but I really like that snow shot. Don't see many of those.

                        Re: Red Kite in Snow Storm

                        Thanks all for looking.
                        Although I WAS taking photos inbetween snow storms I struggled to get decent images in the snow as I found the AF struggled a wee bit.
                        After thinking about it I wish to HOLD MY HANDS UP and say that I edited the first image with PHOTOSHOP by adding the snow.
                        ( I think Stan sussed it out )
                        I had no intention of cheating , I simply stated it was a RED KITE IN A SNOWSTORM..
                        My intention was to use an image of a Kite which I had taken that was not as sharp as I would have liked to show on its own, so I thought about and tried adding the snow to help hide a soft image.
                        I thought it turned out well even though it looks like a lot of snow.
                        I apologise if anyone feels cheated.

                        I was wondering if my next image should be titled MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HILL.

                            Blimey, that first shot is different, absolute belter of an image.
                            Concentrate on equipment and you'll take technically good photographs. Concentrate on seeing the light's magic colours and your images will stir the soul. - Jack Dykinga
                            Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography- George Eastman
